First, you're scaring the [bleep] out of me from a security standpoint writing mysql passwords into files... If you are NOT an expert in this stuff, stop now, please... Next, you are missing the ';' at the end of each line to make valid PHP code. Finally, what you are saying about the password being a value and the others not being a value is making no sense from your output provided. You are either VERY confused (I.e., have no business trying to write what you are trying to write) or you've posted inaccurate output and we can't help you. I'm not trying to be a jerk -- But you're opening yourself up to HUGE potential risk, and it just doesn't seem like you have the experience to do what you are doing. If you *have* to proceed, consider hiring somebody to audit/review your code and process when you are done. http://phpsec.org is a MUST READ, and obviously to any regular reader, Chris should be on your short-list of auditors.
